So, Ryan Philllippe's ex Alexis Knapp got knocked up with a baby. Word had it that it was Ryan's, but that was never confirmed nor completely denied. The baby was born earlier this month - July 6th - but only now have sources been able to get ahold of the kid's birth certificate.

On this legal binding document, Ryan is NOT listed as the father. In fact, there is not father listed at all. However, the little girl's full name reads Kailana Phillippe-Knapp.

The mom gave her that last name, dummy. Ryan probably didn't even realize she did it until it was too late. If he agreed to letting her use his last name, don't you think he would have agreed to being listed as the father?

In some states, the father can only be automatically put on the birth certificate if they are married. If they are not married, no name is put as "father" and then a DNA test can be done. Once the results come back, the birth certificate can then be changed to add the fathers name.

The mother decides what the child is named and puts it on the birth certificate, and she doesn't need permission from anyone to give her child his last name. You can pick any name under the sun for your child, doesn't have to be anyone's last name in your family, you can arbitrarily choose any name you want. I could give my child the Phillipe surname if I wanted to. It means nothing.

You don't have to consent in order for a baby to have your last name.
We had a paperwork mixup when our son was born and my husband (we weren't married at the time) was not listed as the father, but our son has his last name.
When the mother and father are not married at the time of birth, more paperwork needs to be filled out than just the birth certificate information (affadavit of parentage). Father's are strongly advised to not put their name on the birth certificate unless they are absolutely certain they are the father.

As others have pointed out. he most likely had nothing to do with filling out the birth certificate. She can fill in any name she wants without the consent of someone who may or may not be the father. Also, in some states, the father's name will not appear on the birth certificate if the parents are not married or the father is not present. It is really up to what the mother fills. Nothing more than that.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
